There will be live streaming of all these events, except possibly the C2 and K1W heats on August 13. In other words, you can get up with Bill Endicott at 3 am to see them on your computer -- or you can watch them later in the day after they are archived!

While the C2 and K1W heats may not be streamed live, they will definitely be made part of the archived material on www.NBCOlympics.com, so you can still see it there but with some delay.

NBC informs us that the streaming should work on all PCs and Macs that are less than two years old.
